Originally posted by TestMangler View PostI detest the Lib Dems. When they first went into coalition with labour in the first Scottish parliament, they said they were 100% going to 'abolish tuition fees'. What they did was move them to the point of graduation, but still continued to loudly proclaim that they had 'abolished tuition fees' and in fact, they regularly still say it was them that made uni tuition free in Scotland.Comment

Originally posted by The_Equalizer View PostTrouble with those fees is the numbers going to university make it impossible to return to the days where it would be free. It's been mentioned here - and all over the place - but why not make core (say STEM) degrees have free places? It would also increase competition for these places and therefore standards too. Double win.
That has to be a huge sum of money - did they ever tell us how they were going to pay for it?Comment

This minority government cannot agree who should sit round the table after nearly two weeks. What the heck are they going to achieve during the exit negotiations?

Tories hold talks with the Lib-Dems about a possible coalition, and the can then also hold their conference after the next election in a telephone box
